Internationals return for Munster

Unsurprisingly, four of six changes to the Munster starting XV to face Leinster in Saturday night's RaboDirect PRO12 encounter in Thomond Park (KO: 7.30pm) are caused by the return of internationals who had been missing from the squad on Six Nations duty.

Keith Earls, Donncha O'Callaghan, Peter O'Mahony and Ronan O'Gara all return to the team with the flyhalf captaining the side in the absence of Paul O'Connell.
